The news of the book mentioned above (From barren rocks to living stones) is now spreading internationally. The 2 links below relate to an interview by a journalist from the Yemen. There was also a feature in the Yemen Post, the most widely read English speaking weekly in Yemen, which was an instant sell out.

This will be at 7pm EST which, sadly for the British listener, will be midnight British time. If any can stay awake at that time there is the opportunity to email questions and comments to the station. 3 days later the interview can be accessed from their archives if you wish to listen later.

Thank you John for the encouragement. The book is now being read in 20 different countries.

I now have a 2nd book called "Paradise Island, Heavenly Journey", this one relating to Singapore, though with a very brief refeence to the 5th Suffolks who were POW's there 1942 through the war. Facebook page relating to it can be found at
